So yeah, it was savage to expect professional footballers to try and play football in that heat.

Yeah.

you mentioned the players we met John Sheridan Kevin Moran and Dennis Irwin the following day because Kevin Moran had friends in our group and Dennis Irwin said it was about the second goal in the second half the second Mexico goal the ball comes across from the left and Dennis was right back it went over his head and he went to chase the Mexican player his brain said chase him his leg said no couldn't move it was outrageous you know we did well to lose 2-1 in those conditions

It's insane to think that it was a 12.30 kickoff.

Like, it really is.

It is, yeah.

We were sweating green Gatorade.

That's true, yeah.

We were advised, are you guys trying to sneak beer in?

No.

Security guys were telling us, get the Gatorade into you.

It was vitamins, salts, everything.

And we had these T-shirts from our local pub.

And look, my brother was going, it's green sweat.

Yeah.

From the Gatorade.

It was insane.

It was dangerous.

It was actually dangerous.

There was, of course, that very famous moment when John Aldridge is shouting a lot at what we would now call the fourth official.
